<p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0;">The tradition of literary readings   at Concordia predates the existence of the university itself, as such events   were held well before Sir George Williams and Loyola merged in 1974. The series,   now known as Writers Read at Concordia, invites renowned and   emerging authors, both Canadian and international, to read from and discuss   their work with students and local audiences. In addition to readings, the   series includes <a href="http://writersread.concordia.ca/readings.html">Master Classes</a> and <a href="http://writersread.concordia.ca/alumni_panel.html">professional development activities</a>,   some open to the public and others only for Concordia students. </p>
<p align="justify">Collaborations with Concordia&rsquo;s <a href="../../index.html">School of Canadian Irish   Studies</a>, <a href="http://www.matrixmagazine.org/">The Pilot</a>, <a href="http://www.atwaterlibrary.ca/events/atwater-poetry-project">the Atwater Poetry Project</a>, <a href="http://www.ubishops.ca/index.html">Bishop&rsquo;s University</a><a href="http://www.ubishops.ca/index.asp">, </a>the <a href="http://www.etang.umontreal.ca/index-en.html">Universit&eacute; de   Montreal&rsquo;s Department of English</a>, and other organizations make the series   possible. The <a href="../../../pagesvoip.concordia.ca/Bookstore/index.html">Concordia Bookstore</a> acts as bookseller for all major readings. </p>
<p align="justify">Another activity offered in affiliation with   the Concordia English Department, the <a href="http://www.sumlitsem.org">Summer Literary Seminars</a> is   held annually in Montreal, Kenya, and Lithuania. As one of the world's largest   and most innovative international writing programs, SLS offers partial   scholarships and academic credit to full-time Concordia students. The program   brings together the finest American, Canadian, European, and African writers and   literary scholars with their host counterparts in a two-week flurry of writing   related activities. Faculty have included such writers as: Amy Bloom, Robert   Coover, Dave Eggers, Ed Hirsch, Denis Johnson, Colum McCann, Jayne Anne Phillips   and George Saunders. Registration is required. Additional tuition subsidies are   available through the Dean's office. For more information, contact <a href="mailto:sls@sumlitsem.org">Ann Ward </a>.</p>
<p align="justify">Writers Read at Concordia is supported by   the Department of English, the Creative Writing Program, and Concordia   University. </p>
<p align="justify">The Writers Read Series also receives funding assistance from the <a href="../../">Faculty of Arts and Science</a>. </p>
